An awakening perhaps. The 2014 May MEP elections increased the anti(ish) EU proportion of the new 750 (and never bigger) + 1 (Schickelschulz) EUParl from about 4% to 30 - 35%. Landslide I said , but for any parliamentary system a massive change. Unfortunately not a big enough democratic tremor to change very much, especially with Schickelschulz controlling 'political groups' and the amendment of legislation. Nevertheless, the new opposition were able to show their supporters what a controlled utterly by the executive (Commissionaires) 'rubber-stamp' outfit they had elected their opposition representatives to. This was followed: I saw and heared it in France, Spain,Italy, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia; by more popular demands as to how the system worked and where the power lay. Thus it was learned that the power lay with the Commissionaires and they purportedly pursued the wishes of the Council of Europe - aka Council of Ministers - a body peopled by the same folk that ran their national government. A revelation! Opposition to the imperial court through what we thought was a parliament but is not really a legislative instrument at all - no legislation initiation, no veto, no repeal, 'engineered' amendment, some minor delay - but still with enough power (just) to 'out' a Commission. So this national government clone sitting in the imperial court with due privilege according to the size of the nation sending their voice is the problem. Thence a realisation that only opposition in EUParl and the Council of Ministers (within the QMV constraints) will allow the people to be heard. The pro-EU lobby is slowly losing control of every single country. Soon the EU parliament will be the only one they control and that control will be gone in 2019. Do not underestimate the effect of a UK exit from the EU. It will be perceived worldwide as a two fingered salute to the EU. We will have labelled the Brussels regime as "rubbish" and the world will listen because history says they dare not to do so. That's going to happen in May 2017 and will signal the end of French/German hegemony over Europe. By May 2019 the europhiles will be facing the loss of the EU parliament.
The British people are very misunderstood on the continent. I have heard it said that the Dutch are the only people to truly understand them, although I have little idea why.
The fact is that the British people have already made up their minds about the EU and we will be leaving. I expect a majority in the realm of 60-70% in favour of doing so. Ignore opinion polls that suggest that the vote will be close because it will not. The europhile campaign is actually in full swing but the British people are ignoring them. We are just not listening to EU rubbish any more. Every decision made in Brussels is now another nail in the europhiles coffin and it can only get worse.
